Panel set up to study Russian jets
The Royal Thai Air Force has set up a panel to study whether buying Russian Su-30s would fully serve the interests of both the armed forces and the government.

Air Force chief ACM Chalit Pukpasuk said that while the F/A-18 meet the needs of the service, it has yet to obtain approval from Washington for export.

He also denied that the Air Force has gave in to the government's plan to barter farm produce, mainly chickens, for the Russian fighters.
